Central Park Conservancy will take over snowfall measurements
The National Weather Service announced today that the Central Park Conservancy will take over measuring snowfall during the winter of 2015-2016. This marks and end of a 22-year run for the Central Park Zoo, where snowfall has been measured since 1993. The National Weather Service trained 20 or more individual employees at the Central Park Conservancy over the past several months in order to make the transition as easy as possible, and to improve accuracy of snowfall reporting in New York City.
